In the words of Monty Python ‘and now for something completely different’ – Travel Photography and Ethno Photography.

While I wait for inspiration to write the CAKE crew in Marble Bar story, and my web host to come back online (major database crash at Pbase.com) I will talk about my new project. Travel Photography and Ethno Photography (roughly translates to photographing people in the world), especially of minorities, is something I want to explore and hopefully learn to do well. Having always been a fan of Travel Photography, my recent work in Malaysia and Borneo opened my eyes to the fact that I should stop just being a fan and dive into it myself. It involves pointing my camera at humans and in that way basically pointing the camera at myself as well. Something I struggle with, but where’s the fun without a new personal challenge! My upcoming Asian Adventure and Photographic Nomadic Journey around the world is the perfect opportunity for this. Would be a crime to not capture people and scenes along the way and improve my travel photography – while still capturing my beloved landscapes as well of course!
A few feeble examples of my travel photography so far. Much more to come.

Hey I don’t think those shots are feeble, they are really cool. You are lucky to be able to combineyour two passions – 🙂
heyley you are right, i agree with you .
You should submit a few essays and images to National Geographic, as you will encounter a lot of interesting people an topics on your travels.
Good idea Thomas and a friend and I are planning to do just that. NG might be setting the bar a bit high though, as they normally only use their own writers and photogs. But hey, never hurts to try I guess 🙂
Amazing photographs, I love the atmosphere of the shots, well done.
The bottom one’s great Flemming – I find it much easier to approach people and ask to take a photograph when I’m interested in what they might be doing – cooking food is a perfect example. Candids can be sometimes offensive so I’m always wary when traveling. Where is your Asian Adventure taking you?
All over, got no plans and lots of plans 😀 Meeting friends in Chiang Mai, from there the North – and rest- of Thailand, some Burma, some Borneo again perhaps, Malaysia. We shall see what happens!
